FSM in the Foundation’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Strategy Jan Willem Rosenboom Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The Sanitation Crisis Most of us live in urban areas (52%) and many developing countries experience runaway urban growth. “Investment in sanitation is a down payment on a sustainable future” (Ban Ki Moon, Budapest Water Summit, 9/2013) 2.5 billion people lack the dignity and health offered by access to a safe, decent toilet and protection from untreated waste 2.1 billion urban residents use facilities that do not safely dispose of human waste Eliminating OD reduces stunting. This effect is 4-5 times larger in urban areas than in rural areas

Need Sustainable Business Models • Traditional technology is water, infrastructure-, and energy-intensive • Not scalable to all who need it • Donations of toilets and equipment do not scale • Need to increase political prioritization, understanding of sludge flows and impacts, improved outcomes • Develop sustainable business models through supply chain: • Support new and existing business in developing countries • Offer decentralized products independent of infrastructure • Need co-ordination, regulation and monitoring • Sector is ready for innovation; partners wanted…
Our Approach The Foundation is Funding: • Applied Research • Product Development • Prototyping & Testing • Support of Commercialization • Efforts to Encourage Adoption To Develop Solutions that: • Are compelling products, sold on the open market and • Profitable for Commercialization Partners • Accessible to the Target Customers • => Are Sustainable • Allow people to live healthier more productive lives We believe there is a significant need, and market, for these solutions
Areas of Technical Innovation Reinvented Toilet Omni-Ingestor Omni-Processor • $0.05/person/day • No pathogens • User demand • Access 90% of pits • Effective Emptying • Efficient Transport • Decentralized • Nutrient Recovery • Energy Production Biologically & Environmentally Safe • Profitable • Sustainable
